Perfect! I was about to ask for thoughts on the Jackery setups.
If I can offer a suggestion, instead of a prepacked format. Maybe
look at the boon-docking and camping areas.
Buy a pure sine wave inverter, batteries and charger as individual
units, as long as high mobility isn't a factor, you can get better
and cheaper as individual units and have the ability to customize

The advantage of the repacked is only simplicity and mobility.
Pre-packed and simplicity is the aim this time. There are others
very similar to the Jackery, that I have looked at too. I am (on
the Jackery) replacing an awkward gas/keri backyard portable
generator with something I can just pickup and bring inside and
plug on with no 75+ foot cables strung everywhere.
Buy an adapter for your Telsa and just plug in your house. That's
what Gavin Newsom says you can do.

I don't know who you meant to reply to but it's not related to
anything I said or need.

I've put up with the noise for 30+ years.

Other electric vehicles are capable of supplying 120V AC from their
battery.

Except in very cold weather' like now. I didn't buy the extra-cost self-heating version of my LiFePO4 batteries which can supposedly be
charged below freezing, mine can't. Teslas are in the news for being
stuck at charging stations with dead batteries that won't accept a
charge when the temperature is too low. A Jackery's lower discharge
(power producing) limit is 14F, like outside here right now. The
lower recharging limit is 32F, they need to be stored indoors.
